Katharine & Brian / Belhurst Castle, Geneva NY Wedding Photography

This is Katharine and Brian from their engagement session. I was so excited, after their session for the wedding to arrive!


When you are beautiful, in love, and totally creative, this is what your wedding looks like:

You do an amazingly fun dance that totally shows off your amazing dancing skills!

You are ridiculously cute and candid during your portraits.


Your details look like they are out of a bridal magazine.












Don't forget to take a look at my website! I have a new wedding only site:

Heather & Jeff / Rochester, NY Wedding Photographer




Huge smiles everywhere.
Jeff & Heather are such a happy couple.
They are both warm, friendly people. Totally in love with life. Both teachers.
Being around them just gives you energy.
Their day was full of emotion and just plain fun, and of course beauty!

Here is a little taste for now...


I always love this moment, when dad sees the bride, his daughter. Even if there is not a total emotional outbreak in the room, there is still a tiny one that I always capture.

Heather was totally laid back and SOOOO organized. She had so much time for portraits before the ceremony. I was in love! I almost didn't want to give her away to Jeff?!?






One of my favorite group shots ever!

A lot of favorites at this wedding....

I have a lot of details shots and inspiration boards coming in another post.

Let me know what you think!

Colleen and Michael Married / Rochester NY Wedding Photographer





July was the perfect month for a wedding!

I am right about in the middle of wedding season..still have a lot of weddings to showcase here.
Always looking for new things to show you.

Let's start with the preparation:
This part is really fun. I love how the mood goes from very light to more nervous in moments. As soon as the dress is on, the nerves kick in.


Something new this year:
I bring studio lighting for church formals. I think it is an absolute must for poorly lit churches. Makes a huge difference. Really showcases your family. I don't love church formals. Not many photographers do, but a wedding is a rare occasion to get great group photos of your family!
I always try and encourage wedding parties to venture outside the church or to a different part. This church in particular had a lot of meaning for the bride and groom.
The bride's grandfather was a pastor here....that makes the photos here that much more important!



I am so excited that people are now making time during their day for portraits. This is so much fun and really important if you want a lot of great choices~
and I have some really PERFECT spots to tell you about during our meeting.
I really recommend you allow more time, like 2-3 hours. Sounds crazy, but especially if you have a large bridal party, you want time to travel, time to arrange, and time to just set up and have fun.








Colleen and Michael chose the Monroe Golf Club.
It was perfection. I loved the glow...

I could blog the whole wedding, but I can't! Too much editing to do! I will leave you with their very fun guests having a total blast!

Tanya and Paul / Rochester NY Weddings

When I met Tanya, she was positive she wanted a BBQ style wedding and to just have fun and marry her man!
She did it!

It was a beautiful, hot sunny day by the lake.
A perfect day for an outdoor ceremony and portraits.



I loved the cake!!!


(and so did one of their smallest guests, he kept asking me, "do you think it would be alright if I just eat one of those chocolates??" Ha!)

During thier dance, they sung the whole song to each other... I am a total sucker for that kind of thing. Adorable.


I had fun going all beachy on the editing of this one for the blog....I mean we were at the beach, kinda?!!

Have fun on your cruise...so jealous.
